Default a little question

does anyone here use lightened flywheel?
and how does it compare to stock?
I'm thinking of purchasing some new clutch and flywheel, when my engine gets swapped.
Thinking of getting the exedy oem clutch and act streetlite flywheel.
any ideas?

Do you get significant amounts of chatter compared to stock at low speeds and starting off? From what I understand all aftermarket flywheels suffer from this

For NA, I'd go with the JWT clutch/flywheel combo.

I don't notice that much chatter ( I can barely remember what stock felt like). I have both the stage one clutch and flywheel and I would say that it drives pretty smooth.

That's what I have. It's loud and annoying at idle when it's warm.

I was 3 cars behind you with the windows up and A.C. and stereo on, with my wife talking to me, and I could hear you.


...and my hearing ain't so good anymore at my age.

I use the clutchmasters 15Ib flywheel and FX400 clutch combo.... I like the lightened flywheel as the revs are faster/more responsive, but this particular clutch/flywheel, as well as a few others, make like a cement mixer type noise at low speeds :P thats the only draw back.

Other than that... I like my aftermarket flywheel.
